Sub: Cashless facility to the serving beneficiaries of CGHS.

Sir,

            It is to submit with due regards that all private hospitals and diagnostic centres empanelled under CGHS have been directed to provide treatment/investigations to the pensioners and their families having CGHS cards on cashless basis which is really an appreciable step. But serving employees and their family members covered under CGHS have not been granted this facility.

2. For the want of cashless facility, the serving officers and their families are facing great difficulties in getting treatment and investigations from the private hospitals and diagnostic centres empanelled under CGHS. On many occasions, they are forced to pay hefty bills at such private hospitals and diagnostic centres without having knowledge whether the whole bill is covered under CGHS or not. When they submit these bills in their offices for reimbursement, heavy cuts are made on the amounts paid by them because of not being aware of the mischief made by the private hospital and/or diagnostic centre.

3. During Covid situation, many Covid affected CGHS beneficiaries were admitted in private empanelled hospitals in emergency. Such empanelled private hospitals initially impressed them to be in free wards but later charged hefty amounts from them.

4. In view of the above, it is requested to kindly allow the cashless facility to all central govt. employees and their family members. It is also worth to mention that the employees of Ministry of Health & Family Welfare have already been allowed to have credit facility in private hospitals and diagnostic centres.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

                                                                                                                               

(HARPAL SINGH),

Secretary General.
